The Ender Dragon, Mother of End

The formerly kind reigning force of the End, the Ender Dragon wears her name with broken pride and regrets. What once was her beautiful thriving home is now mercilessly trashed by the foreign beings that arrive, and while they may not be villains, they are not heroes often. 

Once a wonderful queen, held dear by her subjects and kin, stress from defending her realm from destruction and forced reincarnation as simply the husk of herself has destroyed the hues of personality once there. Now, she is only a careless, angered “boss” to the foreign ones, mindlessly flailing to defend herself and her realm despite it being pointless now.

Rumor has that a strange, new ‘foreign one’ has wings almost exactly like hers, with fur as dark as the Endermen. But this is only a rumor, of course.

…and wouldn’t you like it to be confirmed.

Striders Large bird like creatures that live near lava and commonly used by Players and Piglens alike to traverse the lava oceans of the nether. Their skin is extremely resistant to heat, making it so they can traverse in lava.  Commonly after exiting lava Striders can be seen pressing basalt and blackstone to the cooling lava on their legs as added protection from the lava. How to saddle a Strider: The saddle goes on top of the Strider between the show feathers on the sides, then the main strap goes behind the show feathers and wing to strap underneath while the secondary strap goes between the second and third show feather in front of the wing. - Mod Nether

The Armites Hostile creatures that live in the depths of the Nether’s lava oceans. They are rarely ever found outside of the lava oceans, much less on actual land, unless they somehow got beached. Swimming in lava is tough work, making these creatures quite strong and pack a nasty bite. Though if their strong shell is harvested, arrow tips can be made out of the fragments. Only those especially careful can get the whole shell, which can be made into a sword, along with a few other things. - Mod Nether

Magma Cubes These gelatinous molten masses of rock and magma are quite plentiful to find in the Basalt Deltas of the Nether. Able to shift around the various rocks they bounce over and use as an armor for themselves by either surfacing or retracting the rocks in and out of their bodies.   - Mod Nether

Endermen A mob that is unmistakable in appearance and recognized by many.  Endermen have tails for balance, though some fill an extra purpose, having a distinct 3 types; Short, Long, and Handed. Although one could argue that their is a fourth type that pairs more often with Long tailed Endermen, whom live in the jungles of the Overworld, called Prehensile. Every Endermen has the ability to posses these different tail types via how much time they spend in certain biomes, Prehensile Long tails from the Jungle, Long Handed ones from the Mountains, and Short tails are the default state of all Endermen. - Mod Nether

The Wither The wither, a hostile ‘Boss’ mob awoke rudely from death. Summoned by placing placing soulsand with three [3] wither skeleton heads on top.  This hodgepodge of hundreds of souls controlling one body are all united in anger against the one who brought it back, awoken it, from death rudely and to rage continuously against all things alive that it can see. - Mod Nether

Strattoms   -   [ Aether Phantoms ] Phantoms whom have evolved for living in the floating lands of the Aether. Their appearance now resembling fluffy clouds as a way to camouflage and to hide the sharp spines that protect it. Beware the stinger they wield on their tail, it delivers a nasty poison.   - Mod Nether

The Novantom, End Phantoms Novantoms, through their life of living within the End dimension, they have gained a see through appearance to better disappear in the background of the End’s sky. If you find one flying at you, coming to take a nip, and prepare to hit them and suddenly find them gone only to be bitten in the behind. That would be because they have gained the ability to teleport and use this to their advantage when attacking.     - Mod Nether
